I somehow found the time to wrap up my WWOEC Woman of the Month pic for December. I went through several ideas for this one, including an incest pic with her son and something involving limbo. In the end I went this route, mainly because I needed to keep it simple in order to complete it on time with all the Christmas fuss distracting me.

Originally Barbados wasn't in this pic. My reference pic and my original sketch neither showed the guy's face. However, after realizing how shocked LaBarbara looked (my intent had been moaning, but she looked shocked to me after I inked it), I decided to add the infidelity angle to pull it together. I think a negative side effect of that decision was Barbados' body not lining up perfectly with his head, but I tweaked the lines some and I don't think it's distracting.

I was really concerned when I started this that I wouldn't be able to adapt the Futurama/Simpsons style well. I've always found porn of those shows very subjective, and I think only very talented artists can successfully pull the style off and keep the picture sexy. While I don't feel I completely nailed it here, I think I did well enough that I'd be comfortable doing other Futurama or Simpsons work in the future. I definitely think there are a few characters I'd like to draw, so if I find the time I may do that.

Here's a commission I recently did of Astrid and Toothless from DreamWorks' "How to Train Your Dragon". This image presented a unique challenge in Toothless, who differs greatly from what I'm used to drawing. Still, it was fun to learn a new body type, and I'm pretty satisfied with the end result of his scales, which was also something new I had to learn. Hopefully everyone will enjoy this picture as much as I did making it!

I feel like my "skills of an artist" have been improving a lot as of late, but then I looked at some of the recent Eromugens and didn't see that reflected there. So I'm trying to put a bit more focus on the comic artistically, changing up some aspects of how it's drawn and my approach to the characters. I don't know if it's working, but if you see an art shift in this page, that's why.

I like that we get to see some of Siat's thoughts, here, since she's been kind of a voiceless character for the past few pages. My only real regret with this page is that it moves a bit too quickly, but I feel we may have spent too much time as it is with this scene. I want to wrap the flashback up and move on to Chapter Three, so pacing may suffer for it.

Of the multiple commissions I'm currently balancing, I somehow found time in the midst of holiday preparations to actually finish one! This is a picture of Eriko Kirishima, Maya Amano and Lisa Silverman of Persona 2. I've always found the Persona games to have remarkable style and design to them, to regretfully I've never played one. Still, it was fun to do this picture, which was commissioned by the same individual who did the earlier Maya pic.

Commissions

I am not currently accepting new commissions. Barring extenuating circumstances, I won't open commissions again until after I complete the ones on queue. I am always available to discuss potential future commissions.

Commissions are available at Nearphotison2010@yahoo.com.

Standard rate is $30 for Black & White, $50 for color. Comics get a $10 bulk discount per page (comic must be more than four pages to receive discount).

These prices assume 1-2 characters. Any characters beyond that will cost an extra $10. For example, a two-character color comic would be $35 per page, but the same comic with an extra two characters would cost $55 per page. Exceptions to this rule may be made for background characters not involved in the action. If anything is unclear, I am perfectly willing to discuss the matter with you.

Certain details may cause a price to go up for images, but these will be on a case-by-case basis and up for discussion with the client. I do not accept private commissions. All artwork I draw is for public consumption, and I reserve the right to share any commissioned content at my discretion.
